The 1990 French Open Tennis Tournament

Introduction

Officially known as the Tournoi de Roland Garros or the Roland Garros tournament, the French Open is the second Grand Slam event that is held in a year. It is held over two weeks in mid May and early June in Paris which is situated in France. This tournament is named after a hero of World War I who was a pilot. This is also the only Grand Slam event which features clay courts for holding the events. These clay courts provide a great challenge to the participants as the strategy of playing in these courts is different from other courts. These clay courts tend to slow down the ball pace and give an extra bounce to the ball.

 

In its earlier stages French Open was only a National tournament but after 1925 it became open to the international competitors too.Philippe Chatrier court is the court in which most of the tournaments are generally held. The 1990 French Open Tennis Tournament is one such tournament.
